  Based on advice of a professional arborist (Wild Service Tree Care), the following work has been identified as necessary for the holistic welfare of the property and garden of 36 Ide Lane: A. Removal of one Sliver Birch. The tree is separate from the main canopy of the garden, and is failing to fluorish. The tree?s health is significantly impeded by the proximity of thick laurel. B. Reduction in height of Norwegian Maple by up to 5m. Tree will be sympathetically trimmed to protect the integrity of both the tree and the property. The maple does have a lean towards the thatched house, which is within easy reach of the full length of the tree. Reduction will reduce excessive canopy and temper the threat from extreme prevalent winds, especially when the tree is in full leaf. C. Reduction in height of one willow tree by up to 5m. Early maintenance is recommended to enhance the longer term health of the tree. The concern is exacerbated by a major natural split near the base of the main trunk (as shown in supporting photographs).

  T1 - Sessile Oak- Remove to Ground level - Removal of the heavily suppressed sessile oak with the bark-included junction is advised to eliminate the risk associated with that structurally weak junction, reduce intra-group competition and improve spacing within the group, which will support the long-term condition of the remaining trees and help keep risk within broadly acceptable levels. T2 - Monterey Pine - It is recommended that the leaning branch from the Monterey pine that extends above the neighbouring garden is pruned back to remove the over-extended section over the adjoining property and reduce the lever arm acting on the branch union, thereby lowering the risk of branch failure into the neighbouring garden while maintaining a balanced crown where practicable this is approximately 1.5 metres in length.
